BC_Hawk Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 3 minutes ago, King Heffy said: They need Babcock or Torts, someone who will make it clear to McDiver that he will be in the press box if he doesn't start acting like a real man on and off the ice. They need a real coach, not a plug to appease the stars. Knob has done a great job by bringing more structure and a defensive system, but the inmates are still running the prison. They will never reach their potential until they hire and the team buys into a true coach. I cringe to think how good they could have been had they hired RT a couple years back and bought in. Unfortunately for them, the carriage turns into a pumpkin at midnight, and Draisatl slips away in the night. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pickly Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 What could have been if the Canucks would have shown up in games 6 and 7. These playoffs have been a great indicator that parity in the NHL has never been more evident and there isn’t a single team that you can point to and say “Yup they’re gonna win it.” The Canucks played the Oilers hard and could have easily won that series, could have beat Dallas, and would have given Florida a good matchup. This is why I believe they gotta go for it over the next couple of seasons. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stawns Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 Posted this in the wrong thread before Probably the best worst case scenario for the Oil. They outplayed the hell out of the Panthers, but Bob stood on his head. They can feel good about how they played and the media can't really dogpule on skinner for losing the game when Bob was unbeatable 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC_Hawk Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 (edited) 13 hours ago, HKSR said: That was experience. So often we see teams sit back on leads. FLA just keeps pushing no matter what. That’s what impressed me watching their series with NYR; never took a shift off all game. Simply weather the pushes, and capitalize afterwords. They are truly a complete team. I hate some of the chippy/cheap play, but that’s how you win cups. They learnt a few years back; went and got those guys (bennet, Tkachuk, Cosins, etc.). Now, been in cup final 2 years in a row.

They couldn’t win when playing a very good/best version of their game. FLA won playing fairly poorly. If FLA plays better (they will) and Bob continues to play well (he will), all you’ll have left is comments about hockey gods to explain your loses 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are in a very good spot to make some key decisions this offseason that will Accomplish that. What we can’t do is to rely on short term fixes ( more things like the OEL buyout) to continually fix mistakes, that will sink us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Kneel Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 I think the oilers need to grimace harder at the refs for more calls. Oh and palms up, palms up. That should do it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck You Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 I'm still shocked that their was no major penalty on the OEL hit to the numbers by Henrique , Now if that was McBaby.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will never play as poorly now that they are back in it after a long break. If cats win game 2, this will be a short series. They were perfect on the PK. I always said even if the PP isn't great, you always need great PK to win a series/cup. Edited June 9 by Jaimito Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coconuts Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 2 hours ago, NewbieCanuckFan said: Yeah not good for the Oilers (who I think didn't play a bad game). How much better can the Oilers play? I think that's a legitimate question. I agree that it's pretty clear Florida can play better. That may have been close to their best tbh, Edmonton's that is, Florida has at least another gear or three 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As soon as the Panthers started shutting that down they were done. They’re not a strong 5 on 5 team. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He really hasn't shown any sign that he's willing to conduct himself like a professional regardless of the teams involved. The league really has no excuse for the continued employment of this criminal. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If theyd played poorly and sknner let in softies etc, it'd have been a shit storm. I think they escaped that outcome last night. Everyone will just chalk it up to a hot goalie, which is mostly accurate 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
